TTC#1 - The difficult fifth thread: the one where we all get BFP!

999 replies

DulcetMoans · 11/08/2012 21:38

Time to move over ladies. Would love to start this thread by announcing my BFP but unfortunately I can't because we all talk too much to get to test date!

All going for gold medals in baby-making and bound to get there soon, aren't we???

BTW love that I've created the 'newbie theory' lol Seriously though, why didn't I pick another name! And before you say it, it can't change it now otherwise I'll become of those mystery ladies going under two names :)

Well, riddle me this ladies, wasn't convinced by the smiley today. Too early and no CM changes really. So, I did another CB stick with the same wee as obviously I am doing the trial so I keep it now, and it was a non-smiley. So now what?

Ahhhh that's annoying! That's the opposite to me. I can't seem to get a smiley face at 9am but if I try again at 11am it pops up. Dulcet I would assume it is a smiley for now and maybe carry on using them since they're free? It could be a faulty stick (the second one)?

I reckon the smiley was the wrong one, when I ejected it the line was all o we the place. DTD just in case!

Better to be safe then sorry ;)

Blockette · 24/08/2012 11:46

Thanks for all your advice - will be picking up my kit today.

Congratulation Dulcet (maybe? - FX!)
That's a long wait for your scans Newbie it must be driving you crazy!

Newbie2 · 24/08/2012 11:59

Block it is driving me crazy :(

Tested for OV again at 11am. Still no smiley face.

Lolcbcb · 24/08/2012 13:34

Oh newbie! What a nightmare!
Well I'm currently sitting opposite this girl at work who just told me she is 9 weeks pg and was not even trying! So a bit annoyed (Blush) but trying to stay positive!

Talyra · 24/08/2012 14:46

Low temp again today so I definitely didn't ovulate despite having fertile CM. I read the chapters on how to get pregnant in Taking Charge of Your Fertility today which was pretty interesting. She basically advises to have sex every day that you have fertile quality cervical fluid unless the man has low sperm count, in which case every other day. And that the best time is before ovulation. So frustrated at lack of ovulation this month. There seemed to be babies everywhere today :(

Newbie2 · 24/08/2012 16:16

Oh dear. Lack of AF and lack of ovulations! This thread is doom and gloom. Where are the BFPs? Anyone testing this weekend to cheer us all up?

I've just made another blood test appt just in case I ovulate tomorrow. I feel like I'm always going to the doctor with my weekly visits!

NicolaHazel · 24/08/2012 16:38

Well...creamy CM has started again today. Hopefully will convert to EWCM next week.

It's very strange being obsessed with the inside of my knickers / the loo roll!

Sorry Lol, that would piss me off.

Newbie2 · 24/08/2012 17:27

Nicola why is my body so desperate to sync with you? Grin At the risk of sounding like a ttc copycat I too had creamy cm yesterday and today. I keep forgetting to look out for cm until one of you ladies mention it! Perhaps I'm going to ovulate a bit later this month. It does appear that every month I get my LH surge a couple of days later then the previous month so there could be some logic in this pattern. Maybe it's a sign that my body is settling down?!

Lol Omg I would have been tempted to throw my stress ball at her if I was you Grin

Newbie2 · 24/08/2012 17:31

On another ridiculous note I popped into a local vintage shop at lunchtime I saw the most loveliest white Swedish bench for our hallway. It flips open for storing shoes and useful stuff baby stuff! How am I going to convince DH that this is a long life investment :-)

Newbie2 · 24/08/2012 17:40

Maybe if I didn't spend so much on sticks I could afford it :-/

NicolaHazel · 24/08/2012 17:45

Ooh...that sounds lovely, Newbie. Buy!!

I'm not sure why yours trying so hard to sync with me though. It's rather good though :-) Fx we get BFPs together very soon too.

Newbie2 · 24/08/2012 18:33

That would be super cool Nicola!! I'd like us all to get BFPs at the same time! Especially the ladies who been here since thread no1!!

NicolaHazel · 24/08/2012 19:02

I snuck into thread 1...old timers some of us!! :-/

As me, you and Dulcet are trying to sync we are having a good go at it.

DulcetMoans · 25/08/2012 03:18

Yeah, cm here too but like mentioned, not convinced by today's smiley. Expect one in the week. Can you ov twice, out of interest?!

DP drunk, trying to convince him to shut up in our tiny b and b!!! Shhhhhhh!!!!

Newbie2 · 25/08/2012 07:40

Dulcet no you can only ovulate once a month. When you do ovulate you can release more then one egg at a time but not more then once a month. Sounds like you had fun last night!

No smiley face for me here. My CBFM is still on strike. It's showing CD12 but still not asking for sticks.

Right, going to drive to town to see if I can buy some ready made curtains today!

NicolaHazel · 25/08/2012 09:15

Drunk DPs can be funny and irritating at the same time, can't they Dulcet?!

Don't forget poles, Newbie. :-)

LoveinNY · 25/08/2012 11:03

Morning Ladies!
That bench sounds lovely Newbie, just buy it and tell DH it was a bargain. Wink sorry to hear you're no further forward re AF.
Nicola I think we all feel the strangeness of constantly checking our Knicks. Lol. I'm contemplating doing ov test this morning. On CD 12 but wary due to last months mega cycle not in comparison to newbie where I ovd on cd26. I'm hoping my alternative treatment will have brought it forward though. Hmm just afraid to waist sticks as they're do expensive. Sitting on the couch seeing if I can feel my ovaries. Lol.
Dulcet I picked up a rather pickled DH and his boss up from a night out last night and had to endure their invigorating conversation for half an hour in the car. Lol. Boys.
Who was it said they were a teacher in Scotland here last week? X

Newbie2 · 25/08/2012 11:11

I didn't go curtain shopping in the end. Decided I'd go back to sleep for an hour instead since I don't have a child yet :)

Lol I'm doing the same thing. I've taken two OV tests and got two negatives but I swear I can feel something I'm ashamed to say I've only got 6 sticks left out of the 20 pack I brought last weekend. I really don't know what happened...must have used two a day or something :-/

LoveinNY · 25/08/2012 11:20

Don't know what else you could do though Newbie, you need to test during this wtf cycle so you don't miss ov. love how we can shamelessly egg each other on to poas here without outsiders judgement Wink x

NicolaHazel · 25/08/2012 11:44

Oh yeah, it's great to be able to PO as many S as we like without being told we are stupid! :-)

Fx you OV earlier this cycle, Love. CD9 here for me. No OV yet, but it is a touch early. My app says I'm due next Sat when we have a guest. Will have to demand sex on Thursday night while we are alone! Though if I didn't catch this cycle, it wouldn't be a disaster, as I could then drink at the wedding in 7 weeks! Potentially a half arsed effort this cycle. :-/

There's still time to buy curtains, Newbie. I'm still in my jim jams on the sofa. Enjoying doing nothing. :-)
